Desantis had some kid staffer make a video with the sonnenrad in it, but then the Trump memers make this meme ad and it's excellent in execution. This is the difference between real and manufactured.

Really interesting in how it's echoing Paul Harvey.

 
This did all remind me of Ann Coulter though who is retweeting stuff about how DeSantis isn't doomed (she was one of the biggest cheerleaders of the idea that others could step in to be More Trump Than Trump). These are people that spend far too much time on social media or focused only on what political commentators are talking about.
No?

Ann Coulter is literally paid to push the Uniparty's agenda on the right. When the Clinton Campaign (and thus, the uniparty) wanted Trump, Coulter was on Bill Maher's show singing his praises, to the open mocking derision of everyone on the show. She sat there and ate shit for it and Maher let her eat that shit, because the incredulous looking sheboon on the panel played up for the camera, all because that's what they felt would sell Trump to the GOP base.

The SECOND the system decided the best way to defeat Trump was to slow walk him so he couldn't actually do anything his entire term, her tune changed to "You know he still hasn't built the wall?" And constant spamming of that on every TV show that would let her on. It was designed to demoralize and shatter his support.

The SECOND the system decided that Meatball was a perfectly good soy MAGA imitation substitute, her entire twitter feed became constant 24x7 automated retweeting of DeSantis agitprop from other Hello-Fellow-Conservatives tier influencers from the uniparty. This is because she's a burned asset now, and will be for at least a few more years before who and what she is is properly memory holed.

She's saying DeSantis isn't doomed because her handlers want to try and keep the DeSantis investment going for a little while longer. If only to damage Trump and waste his time and energy and resources.

Remember, they don't have to beat Trump, they just have to drag him down so the rigging looks believable to enough NPCs that there's not enough political will to overturn it.

Her entire career is working as a Uniparty shepherd for the right. Either tricking the right into wasting their time and energy on things that don't matter, or propping up crazies to smear opposition to the uniparty, or poisoning the discourse on the right with insane ideas.

When 9/11 happened, days afterwards Ann was in the papers explaining that what we RELALY need to do is kill all the Muslims in the world and put their children in Christian orphanages. She was fired for this. It was on every news station in the US. Completely unacceptable!

... But it sure made Operation Iraqi Freedom sound reasonable in comparison, didn't it?

Is there anything you can do to strong-arm the company? Aren't unions supposed to be able to hold strikes? I suppose that is under the assumption that a union actually does its job... Could you organize with other workers and come up with ideas?
IIRC guys who build shit for the military have some pretty big restrictions on their ability to strike. Lot of laws on that dating back to WW2 and the early Cold War.
On paper, we can strike and we can actually try to do something. In practice, well, the "Good Ol' Boys" down at the Union Hall are too do-nothing to actually make anything happen. I've worked a number of Union jobs, and it's the same problem here that I've seen elsewhere; people who've been around since before the Berlin Wall fell and really don't seem to accept that times have changed. The new generations of workers aren't really down with Foremen who are pricks, or a work environment that shaves two days off your life every day you work. There's a recognition that we're almost literally the only guys you can actually get to work a job like this anymore, that most people would prefer a service job or welfare, and without us it would come crumbling down. We just want the Company to give us the safe working conditions they have always claim we are supposed to have because we know we could just leave and get it elsewhere.

What's bothersome is that we all saw what Joe Biden did when the Railworkers were going to strike. There's a real risk of us getting fucked too as @Snekposter mentioned. That being said, historically we have striked, but the days when that kind of thing were tolerated might be over. The Government is growing less tolerant of us proles acting out after all. I can't imagine how bad it is in other jobs, we at least get paid decent, as far as I can figure, a lot of places don't even have that going for them.

The sooner an actual Workers' Movement can be restarted, the better it will be for all of us Workers in this country. Unfortunately, the low-level organization we do have is too limited to actually achieve much yet, and I'm afraid it's going to take a lot to convince enough people to cut out the DEI shit and get focused on the actual problems without entangling race and gender into it.
 
He ran on "I'm not a Democrat", originally. "I'm with Trump" was in there too.

Actually having to run in an election on issues deeper than the most surface-level shit is what's fucked him. Dunno how this will affect his chances at holding office in FL from here on out, but he easily could've done the same thing after four years out of the governor seat to run again, or did like Rick Scott did, had he abstained from this presidential run that nearly everyone and their mother knew was a bad idea.

All this presidential run has done is confirm that he's an establishmentarian, and also that he's an autist who got extremely lucky with time and place when he ran on both occasions.

The problem is that anyone running in 2024 has to run on being Not Trump. What kind of compelling Not Trump message can DeSantis, or anyone else that matter, come up with? In 2028, he can run on being Trump Plus, Trump Younger, Trump The Second, etc. There's no viable message for 2024, because the base wants Trump, period.

And that's why Trump's support among the party's voters never falters. He goes for the jugular on these fucks.

Thing is, the Uniparty could stay in power with few problems if they'd just throw populists a bone every now and then. Y'know, do what they were elected to do. Some noblesse oblige would go a long way.

But like the Romanovs and Bourbons, they refuse to give even an inch that would compromise their opulent lifestyles. And the longer they continue to do so, the more likely it becomes that people have enough and chimp out.

The bread and circus can only get you so far. Those who make peaceful change impossible will make violent change inevitable.
 
Latest story today with the Sonnenrad video apparently coming from DeSantis' campaign is a great example of how they've concentrated on trying to mimic the Trump side's memes and positions, without looking any deeper. Nate Hochman likely saw some meme video of Trump and just plastered DeSantis images all over it, not bothering to check what the the sonnenrad was about.

DeTismo pandering to /pol/ is really cringe. Did they fall for the "all right wingers are nazis" meme?

If a normal non-faggot made that video it would be full of Chuds, wignat bell music, and ACK-ing trannies. That video itself is weird. It's trying to be more tame with the classical wojaks of a decade ago then smacks you in the face with the black sun. I would enjoy the Chud video more.

Now if Ttump did that, y'all likely be clamoring at how BASED his subliminal messaging is. Unpopular opinion, but MAGA feels more of a gift in itself thanks to social response of illicting reactions through low effort posting, racial insensitivity, and anti social behavior. See Nick Fuentes as an example.

It's quite embarrassing seeing elected officials trying to cater to low hanging fruit with legitimate issues.

If Trump we're to be cringe enough to use old wojacks he'd message about crooked politics with "proud to be an American" playing in the background.
